Lobos FM
radio network owned by the Universidad Autónoma de Durango
Lobos FM is a network of radio stations owned by the Universidad Autónoma de Durango (known in the state of Sonora as the Universidad Durango Santander), a private university with campuses in multiple Mexican states. The seven Lobos FM stations cover cities in western Mexico and broadcast from the UAD campuses in each city. With Lobos FM, the UAD is the only multi-state private university broadcaster in the country.
History
The first UAD radio station was XHUAD-FM 94.1 Durango, which was permitted on December 10, 1999. In 2004, the UAD applied for additional stations at Mazatlán and Zacatecas; in 2009 for Gómez Palacio, Los Mochis and Culiacán; and 2011 for Zacatecas. In September 2011, Cofetel approved the first expansion of the Lobos FM network by approving the permit applications in Gómez Palacio and Mazatlán, with XHLUAD-FM 88.7 and XHTLAN-FM 106.7 signing on in 2012. On December 19, 2017, the IFT resolved all remaining permit applications in Hermosillo, Los Mochis and Zacatecas, resulting in the university receiving concessions for XHHMO-FM 103.5, XHHIS-FM 97.3 and XHZTZ-FM 95.5. In Zacatecas, XHZTZ's award marked the state's first university radio station. The Culiacán application was greenlit on January 31, 2018, for XHCUAD-FM 93.7.
The UAD also owns and operates television station XHUAD-TDT channel 4 in Durango.

Why this record matters
The phrase “radio network owned by the Universidad Autónoma de Durango” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q8042153. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1999, 2004, 2009 and 2011.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
